Existence of Laplace transforms
Existence Theorem:
Let f(t) be piecewise continuous function on nite inter-
val where t 0, and f(t) satises
t 0, | f(t) | Me
kt
,
where k and M are constants, then f(t):s Laplace-transform
exist for all s > k.
Not a big practical problem in most cases because
we can check a solution of a dierential equation by
substitution.
Existence in not always quaranteed because we inte-
grate over an innite interval.
For a xed s the integral in
_
0
e
st
f(t)dt will
exist if the whole integrand e
st
f(t)dt goes to
zero fast enough as t say, at least like an
exponential function with a negative exponent.
(this fact motivates the inequality in existense
theorem)
The function f(t) need not be continuous. Sucient
is so-called piecewise continuity.
By denition, a function f(t) is piecewise continu-
ous on a nite interval a t b if f(t) is dened
on that interval and is such that the interval can
7
be subdivided into nitely many intervals in each of
which f(t) is continuous and has nite limits as t
approaches either endpoints
Finite jumps are the only discontinuities that a piece-
wise continuous function may have; these are known
as ordinary discontinuities.
Uniqueness: If the Laplace transform of a given
function exists, it is uniquely determined. Conversly, it
can be shown that if two functions have the same trans-
form, these functions cannot dier over an interval of pos-
itive length, although they may dier at various isolated
points. Since this is of no importance in applications, we
may say that the inverse of a given transform is essen-
tially unique. In particular, if two continuous functions
have the same transform, they are completely identical.

Dierentiation of Function
The Laplace transform is a method of solving dier-
ential equations. The crucial idea is that the Laplace
transform replaces operations of calculus by operations
of algebra on transforms. Roughly, dierentiation of f(t)
is replaced by multiplication of L(f) by s. Integration of
f(t) is replaced by division of L(f) by s.
Theorem: Laplace transform of the deriva-
tive of f(t)
Suppose that f(t) is continuous for all t 0 satises the
existence theorem for some k and M, and has a deriva-
tive f
(t):
L(f
) = sL(f
) f
(0),
in otherwords
L(f
) = s

L(f) sf(0) f

Same way we get for f
(t)
L(f
) = s

L(f) s

Let f(t) and its derivatives f
(t), f
(t), ... ,f
(n1)
(t)
be continuous functions for all t 0, satisfy the existence
theorem, for some k, M, and let the derivative f
(n)
(t) be
piecewise continuous on every nite interval in the range
t 0. Then the Laplace transform of f
(n)

s > k and is given by

Example 11. Let f(t) = 2t

. Calculate L(f(t)) using
equations for derivates and the knowledge of L(1).
As you can see from the example there can be several
ways to nd Laplace transform of a function.
Example 12. Calculate L(f) when f(t) = cos

using the derivative.
Example 13. Calculate L(f) when f(t) = 2t cos 3t.

Dierential equations and initial value prob-
lems
Next we go into how the Laplace transform can be used
to solve dierential equations. We begin with an initial
value problem of form
y
+ ay
+ by = r(t), y(0) = K
0
, y
(0) = K
1
, (9)
where a and b are constants. Here r(t) is an input to the
system and y(t) is systems response (output). In Laplace
method we have three steps:
1. step. We get following form for dierencial equa-
tion (9) by using rst and second derivative and where
Y = L(y) and R = L(r)
[s
2
Y sy(0) y
(0) + R(s).
2. step. By dividing previous equation with (s
2
+
as +b) or in otherwords using so called transfer function
Q(s)
Q(s) =
1
s
2
+ as + b
(10)
11
We get solution for subsidiary equation
Y (s) = [(s + a)y(0) + y
y = t, y(0) = 1, y
(0) = 1.
Example 15. Solve initial value problem
9y
6y
+ y = 0 y(0) = 3, y
(0) = 1
Example 16. The LRC circuit consists of a resistor R,
a capacitor C and an inductor L connected in series to-
gether with a voltage source e(t). Prior to closing the
switch at time t = 0, both the charge on the capacitor
and the resulting current in the circuit are zero. Deter-
mine the charge q(t) on the capacitor and the resulting
12
current i(t) in the circuit at time t given that R = 160
ohms, L = 1 henry, C = 10
4
farad and e(t) = 20 V.
We are assuming that q(0) = q
(0) = 0.
Example 17. The mass-spring-damper system is sub-
jected to an externally applied periodic for F(t) = 4 sin 2t
at time t = 0. Determine the resulting displacement y(t)
of the mass at time t, given that y(0) = y
(0) = 0, and
spring constant k = 25, damping coecient B = 6 and
mass m = 1.

Laplace Transform of the Integral of a Func-
tion
Dieretiation and integration are inverse processes. Ac-
cordingly, since dierentiation of a function corresponds
to the multiplication of its transform by s, we expect in-
tegration of a function to correspond to division of its
transform by s, because divison is the inverse operation
of multiplication.

s-shift, t-shift and unit step function
s-shift:
If f(t) has Laplace transform of F(s), where s > k,
then function e
at
f(t) has Laplace transform F(s a),
where s a > k. So, if L{f(t)} = F(s), we have
L
_
e
at
f(t)
_
= F(s a). (14)
So if f(t) has a known transform F(s), for function
e
at
f(t) we get transform by moving of a in the s-axis, in
other words by placing s a for s we get F(s a).
Remark 1. By taking the inverse transform from both
sidesof (14) we get
L
1
{F(s a)} = e
at
f(t). (15)
Example 22. Iron ball which mass m = 2 is anchored

t-shifting: Replacing t by t a in f(t)
Second shifting theorem: t-shifting:
If f(t) has Laplace transform of F(s), then function
f(t) =
_
0, when t < a
f(t a), when t > a
(16)
where a 0 is arbitrary has Laplace transform
L(
f(t)) = e
as
F(s).
According to this if Laplace transform F(s) of f(t) is
known, then Laplace transform of function (16) is gained
by multiplying F(s) with term e
as
, in otherwords by
shifting f(t)s variable by a (shift along the t-axis).
17
Denition 1. Unit step function u(t a) is dened
by
u(t a) =
_
0, when t < a
1, when t > a
, a 0. (17)
Function u has a unit jump at t = a, where its value
is left undened.
Unit step function u(t a) is used in many functions
and it has enlarged the use of Laplace transform in many
areas. Unit step function can be used e.g. as representing
a function
f(t) in t-shift (16) in form f(t a)u(t a),
in otherwords
f(t a)u(t a) =
_
0, when t < a
f(t a), when t > a
(18)
This function is similar to f(t) when t > 0, but it is
shifted as worth to the right. The unit step function is a
typical engineering function made to measure for engi-
neering applications, which often involve functions (me-
chanical or electrical driving forces) that are either o
or on. Multiplying functions f(t) with u(ta), we can
produce all sorts of eects.
For example equations f(t 2)u(t 2) = cos(t
2)u(t 2) gure is similar to f(t) = cos t, t > 0, but it
18
is shifted two units right from cos t. When t < a = 2, is
cos(t 2)u(t 2) = 0, because at this area u(t 2) = 0.
By using equation (18) t-shifting theorem can be re-
framed as:
If L{f(t)} = F(s), then
L{f(t a)u(t a)} = e
as
F(s). (19)
Remark 2. By taking inverse from both sides of (19)
we get
L
1
{e
as
F(s)} = f(t a)u(t a). (20)
In ecient use of Laplace tranforms we also need unit
step functions u(t a) Laplace transform

wave is applied and the equation for the circuit is:

About translation formula
The usual Laplace transform for translation on the t-
axis is
L{f(t a)u(t a)} = e
as
F(s).
where F(s) = L(f(t)).
This formula is useful for computing inverse Laplace
transform of e
as
F(s), for example. On the other hand,
as written above it is not immediately applicable to com-
puting the Laplace transform of functions having the form
u(t a)f(t). For this you can use instead the previous
formula:
L{u(t a)f(t)} = e
as
L(f(t + a)) a > 0 (22)

Short impulses. Diracs delta function
Phenomena of an impulsive nature, such as the action
of very large forces (or voltages) over very short intervals
of time, are of great practical interest, since they arise in
various applications. This situation occurs, for instance,
when a tennis ball is hit, a system is given a blow by a
hammer, an airplane makes a hard landing, a ship is hit
by a high single wave, and so on. Next the goal is to
show how to solve problems involving short impulses by
Laplace transforms.
In mechanics, the impulse of a force f(t) over a time
interval, a t a + k, is dened to be the integral of
f(t) from a to a + k. The analog for an electric circuit
is the integral of the electromotive force applied to the
circuit, integrated from a to a + k. Of particular prac-
tical interest is the case of a very short k (and its limit
21
k 0), that is, the impulse of a force acting only for an
instant. To handle the case, we consider the function
f
k
(t a) =
_
1
k
, if a t a + k
0, otherwise
(23)
The limit of f
k
(t a) as k 0 is denoted by (t a),
that is
(t a) = lim
k0
f

(t a) (24)
and the Laplace transform is
L[(t a)] = e

(25)
Example 30. Response of a damped vibrating system

Determine the response of the damped mass-spring sys-
tem governed by

a) where r(t) is the square wave r(t) = u(t1)u(t2)
b) where r(t) is a unit impulse r(t) = (t 1)
Dierentiation and Integration of Transforms
The variety of methods for obtaining transforms or
inverse transforms and their application in solving dier-
ential equations is suprisingly large. They include
22
1) direct integration
2) the use of linearity
3) shifting
4) dierentiation or
5) integration of function f(t).
Next we consider dierentiation and integration of trans-
form F(s) and nd the corresponding operations for orig-
inal function f(t).
It can be shown that if f(t) satises the conditions of
the existence theorem, then the derivative F
(s) of trans-
form
F(s) = L(f) =
_
0
e
st
f(t)dt
with respect to s can be obtained by dierentiating
under the integral sign with respect to s!; thus
F
(s) =
_
0
e
st
[tf(t)]dt
Consequently, if L(f) = F(s), then
L[tf(t)] = F
(s) (26)
23
In practice dierentiation of the transform of a func-
tion corresponds to the multiplication of the function by
(t). Similarly

Hence if a dierential equation has coecients such as
at + b, we get a rst-order dierential equation for Y ,
which is sometimes simpler than the given equation. But
if the latter has coecients at
2
+bt+c, we get, by two ap-
plications of (1), a second-order dierential equation for
Y , and this shows that the Laplace transform method
works well only for very special equations with variable
coecients. We illustrate it for an important equation in
the following example.
27
Example 34. Laquerres dierential equation is

Convolution. Integral equations
Another important general property of the Laplace
transform has to do with product of transforms. It often
happens that we are given two transforms F(s) and G(s)
whose inverses f(t) and g(t) we know, and we would like
to calculate the inverse of the product H(s) = F(s)G(s)
from those known inverses f(t) and g(t). This inverse
h(t) is written (f g)(t), which is a standard notation,
and is called the convolution of f and g. Since the
situation and task just described arise quite often in ap-
plications, this theorem is of considerable practical im-
portance.
Convolution and related operations are found in many
applications of engineering and mathematics.
1) In statistics, a weighted moving average is a convo-
lution.
2) also the probability distribution of the sum of two
independent random variables is the convolution of
each of their distributions.
3) In optics, many kinds of blur are described by con-
volutions. A shadow (e.g. the shadow on the table
when you hold your hand between the table and a
light source) is the convolution of the shape of the
29
light source that is casting the shadow and the object
whose shadow is being cast. An out-of-focus photo-
graph is the convolution of the sharp image with the
shape of the iris diaphragm. The photographic term
for this is bokeh.
4) Similarly, in digital image processing, convolutional
ltering plays an important role in many important
algorithms in edge detection and related processes.
5) In linear acoustics, an echo is the convolution of the
original sound with a function representing the vari-
ous objects that are reecting it.
6) In articial reverberation (digital signal processing,
pro audio), convolution is used to map the impulse
response of a real room on a digital audio signal.
7) In electrical engineering and other disciplines, the
output (response) of a (stationary, or time- or space-
invariant) linear system is the convolution of the in-
put (excitation) with the systems response to an im-
pulse or Dirac delta function.
8) In time-resolved uorescence spectroscopy, the exci-
tation signal can be treated as a chain of delta pulses,
and the measured uorescence is a sum of exponen-
tial decays from each delta pulse.
9) In physics, wherever there is a linear system with
30
a superposition principle, a convolution operation
makes an appearance.
10) This is the fundamental problem term in the Navier
Stokes Equations relating to the Clay Institute of
Mathematics Millennium Problem and the associ-
ated million dollar prize.
11) In digital signal processing, frequency ltering can
be simplied by convolving two functions (data with
a lter) in the time domain, which is analogous to
multiplying the data with a lter in the frequency
domain
Denition: Let F(s) and G(s) be two transform
functions which original functions f(t) and g(t) are known.
In convolution we compute product H(s) = F(s)G(s),
where F(s) and G(s) are, inverse transforms from orig-
inal functions f(t) and g(t). This inverse transform of
H(s) is
h(t) = (f g)(t),
which is called convolution of f and g.
Convolution theorem:
We assume that f(t) and g(t) satises the existence the-
orem. Then their transforms F(s) = L(f) and G(s) =
L(g) product is f(t)s and g(t)s convolution h(t) Laplace
transform H(s) = L(h), we mark it as L(f g)(t), where
31
h is dened by
h(t) = (f g)(t) =
_
t
0
f()g(t )d. (38)
Example 35. What is the original function of the trans-
form function H(s) =
1
(s
2
+1)
2
?
Example 36. Dene functions t and 1 convolution.
By applying denition of convolution we can show that
convolution f g has following properties
f g = g f (commutative law)
f (g
1
+ g
2
) = f g
1
+ f g
2
(distributive law)
(f g) h = f (g h) (associative law)
f 0 = 0 f = 0
Just like in multiplication. Allthough in general
f 1 = f,
as we can see from example 36. Another abnormality is
that
(f f)(t) 0
is not always true, like we can see from example 35.
32
Dierential equation and convolution:
Reminding that dierential equation
y
+ ay
+ by = r(t) (39)
has a subsidiary equation which solution
Y (s) = [(s + a)y(0) + y
(0) =
0 for dierential equation (39), we get for solution of y(t)
as inverse transform ofY = RQ. This solution according
to convolution theorem is
y(t) =
_
t
0
q(t )r()d, q(t) = L
1
(Q). (41)
Example 37 (Response of a oscillation system to a sin-
gle square wave ). Let us take a look at the model
y

We solve this by using convolution so that we can see how
it works for inputs which are eecting the system.

Partial fractions, dierential equations
The solution Y (s) of a subsidiary equation of a dier-
ential equation usually comes out as a quotient of two
polynomials,
Y (s) =
F(s)
G(s)
Hence we can determine its inverse by writing Y (s) as
a sum of partial fractions and obtain the inverse of
the latter from a table and the rst shifting theorem. In
context of Laplace transforms, partial fraction represen-
tations and their inverse transforms are sometimes called
Heaviside expansions. The form of the partial fractions
depends on the kind of factors in the product form of
G(s).

Repeated complex factors often occur e.g. in cases
where resonance is involved (cases where there is no damp-
ing like in previous example) or from electrical systems
in LC-circuits.

Laplace transform of a periodic function
If f(t) is a periodic function with period a we have
f(t + a) = f(t). The Laplace transform of f(t) can be
found by integrating over only one period:
